Achieving My Educational Goals

My educational goals were to get a certificate in Health Information Technology as a certified coder. But I change my mind and decided to get my associates degree because it provides me with more opportunities in the field. I can choose many different careers such as health information analyst, insurance claims analyst, records technician specialist, etc. With this degree I can improve my family financial situation and be an example to my children that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

Being a college student is not all about gaining from each endeavor encountered. There are gains and loses simultaneously. As a student develops in his or her academic career, the student eventually learns that priorities have to be put in place. Being a well-rounded individual can be very difficult as a STEM student. For this reason, my personal academic goal is to be a well-rounded student and individual. A well-rounded student can be defined as a student with a minimum of 3.7 GPA with a role in at least one extracurricular activity. To achieve my goal in becoming a well-rounded individual, I would like to develop, to the best of my ability, excellent study habits, soft-skills and self-discipline in all areas of my life. I strive to attain this personal academic goal.

For my educational plans, I have a clear understanding and vision of where I want to go and who I have the desire to be. For now, I would like to graduate with my Associates in Arts degree in Nursing from Indian River State College. I believe Indian River State is an excellent place to begin my journey and recieve my education in order to better prepair myself for what is yet to come. After I recieve my Associates degree from Indian River, I plan to transfer to the University of South Florida in order to extend my education and potentially recieve my Bachelors and Masters of Science degree in Nursing.

An experience in a biomedical research will help me to succeed in my long-term educational goals. My long-term goal is to attend a MD-PHD program at a Medical School. As a scientist, I would like to study the genetics of disease causing organisms and human genetics. Currently, I am studying Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, which I think will equip me with a knowledge of human biochemistry. However, since undergraduate schools mainly focus on theoretical not the practical application of most subjects, I need to participate in a hands on research project over the summer because It will give me an opportunity to apply my knowledge in a laboratory. This is when the summer research program at the University of Maryland school of medicine

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

After I graduate high school I plan to attend Blinn college to get my basics and take pre engineering classes. After I finish that I am going to transfer to ATM and major in electrical engineering. My goals are to fully support myself and live comfortably, not having to live paycheck to paycheck. I would like to help my parents pay the rest of their bills as well. I want help to support a family if that may happen in the future. By the time I am 25 I want to have a secure job and own a home.

My current education goals are to graduate with nothing less than a 3.6, commission into the United States Air Force from Detachment 290 at the University of Kentucky, obtain a Ph.D in Political Leadership, and in Theology before I am 35 years old.

Everything I want to do in my life is not only to help families with low- income, but to also help kids that was raised in single parent homes or didn’t have someone to look up to growing up. I my life I was pretty much alone,

I am pursuing college education because I know it is the way to have a comfortable life in the future. I learned, in the world we live in today we need education. I am grateful to have fee waiver and I will not take it for granted because without it I don’t think I’ll be able to pay my tuition by myself. But if necessary I would work full time and be a part time student just to be able to achieve education.

My current educational goal is to become a middle school math teacher. When I began attending Brookdale Community College in September 2011, my major was Biology. I wanted to become a veterinarian. My first year at Brookdale Community College, I struggled a lot because I did not know if I wanted my major to be Biology anymore. I have taken biology three times because I was determined to become a veterinarian. While I was taking General Chemistry I in the summer, my chemistry professor told me that the sciences were not for me. Later on that same day, I went to counseling and changed my major to Education. I chose Education for many reasons. During my second semester at Brookdale, I was taking a Math-025 (Elementary Algebra) with Professor Ashley

My short term educational goal is making straight A’s this semester and bringing my GPA up - closer to a 4.0. My medium educational goal would have to be completing both my, Associates in Arts degree and Health and Fitness Science degree, by year 2017. Then, for my long term goal, I would have to say going to a four year university and graduating from there with a Bachelor degree in some health and fitness related field, and possibly a minor in Psychology. These achievements would help me professionally in the future because I would be well educated and qualified for many career fields that I would enjoy doing.

By applying to Bethel my goals are to receive a valuable college education that will help better my chances of getting a job, and also to grow in my faith.

My future educational goals are to attend and graduate from Florida A & M University and go on to attend dental school to become an Orthodontist. I plan on majoring in Biology Pre-Dental and hope to partake in many internship programs to gain more experience in the dental field, as well as strengthen my application for dental school. At the high school I attend, I finished the Medical Assisting program and I am currently a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant. Being in that program opened my eyes up to not just the reality of working in the medical field, but also all other fields in healthcare that work cohesively with one another.

I adapted to a different situation to be successful. My values focus on helping others, successfully communicate, meet people from different backgrounds, offer advice in a number of areas. I have the ability to decide courses of action using policies, ethics, which requires working under pressure and meeting deadlines. I have a high standard of right and wrong which is why I advocate for children in Head Start for eight years and became a Union delegate. I can work alone or with a team and have been directly responsible for the work done by others. I have work in circumstances involving a high pace of activity and know how to determine the nature of my work without direction from
